I don't know all the recent locations, but I think '98 was in Florida and Indiana hosted one after that.

I know, I know.....

I just think that they should move it back and forth, instead of keeping the event in the same region for 3 yrs in a row.

I heard the committee talking about having it in Alaska next year.

(j/k)

I think after LA, they'll definitely bring it back to the East Coast.

Now that Oktoberfest 2003 has gone by, time to look forward to 4th of July in SoCal.

Actually, there is a Z car homecoming every year in SC around Labor Day, but it's a Z car event - don't know if they'll have them for the X cars.

For Oktoberfest in SoCal, I'm sure there will be caravans from all over the country, especially since it will follow the 4th of July weekend.

How about having one up here in the north country, or at least Chicago.

I think Indiana was a couple of years ago. I have not heard any rumors on where 2005 will be.
